Synopsis

Written by an expert shibori teacher, this book sets out a clear route from first stitches to more intricate stitched-resist work, supported by photography and illustrations. It is organised into three sections: core stitch-resist techniques, using motifs to build pattern, and a complete guide to dyeing.

Alongside guidance for working in small spaces and key health and safety considerations, it explores a wide range of approaches, including grids, double needles, stencils and caps, binding, machine stitch, fabric buffers and appliqué. The dyeing section covers recipes, tips and advice for working with natural and synthetic indigo in organic and synthetic vats, as well as other natural dyes, iron rust and Procion dyes, used alone or in combination. Suitable for beginners, with plenty to interest experienced textile artists.
